Energy portal

Hi! As a contributor to WikiProject Energy development, I thought you might like to be aware of the opportunity to contribute to the new Energy Portal, now that there is one... No need to reply. Gralo 17:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Energy portal & future selected articles

Hi! Over the past couple of months I've been spending much more time than I should developing the Energy portal, and intend asking for a portal peer review within the next day or so.

The portal provides a showcase for energy-related articles on Wikipedia. One of the most prominent ways is via a the selected article that is currently changed every 6 weeks or so. It would be good to increase this turnover, and with three Wikiprojects dedicated to energy-related topics and a good number of articles already written, I'd like to suggest that members of each Wikiproject might like to use the 'selected article' to feature some of their best work.

With this in mind, I'd like to suggest that your Wikiproject bypasses the normal selected article nomination page and decides collectively which articles are worth featuring - or these may be self-evident from previous discussions - and add short 'introduction' to the selected article at the appropriate place on page Portal:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, which includes further information. Your personal involvement would be welcome!

Please make any comments on your Wikiproject talk page, my talk page, or on Portal talk:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, as appropriate. Gralo 15:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bond of Association

Hi Cyrie, you refer to 'upcoming work' that may intersect with the theme of this article. What type of work?Brett epic (talk) 22:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-- Hi Brett. I work for the Ontario Co-op Association, and we do some work with the credit union sector (although they have their own trade association). We do a lot of work supporting funders and financers of co-ops, which includes CUs, and we are designing some education around CED and helping lenders profile co-ops and use the co-op principles more effectively. Bond of association as it relates to larger CED will end up be part of that discussion (at least, I hope so :) ). Cyrie (talk) 04:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
